Description

The following messages can be sent in order to set an initial Run Hours or Odometer reading on a device. For use with On Device Run Hours.

0x0012 - Set Odometer Request Example

Payload:

Offset	Length	Data Type	Description
0	4	UINT32	The odometer value in metres/10

Example:

{ 
"MessageType":18, // 0x0012 – Set Odometer,
"CANAddress":4294967295,   //0xFFFFFFFF,//HOST_ADDRESS
"Data":[232,03,00,00],   //See below
"ExpiryDateUTC":"2018-07-20T18:25:43.511Z"
}

The above example sets the odometer reading to 10km = 10 000m. The unit/LSB is 10m therefore,

10 000m/10m = 1000 = 0x3E8

Converting this to Little Endian = E8 03 00 00

Then we send the byte array in JSON format

E8 = 232
03 = 03
00 = 00
00 = 00

Giving:
[232, 03, 00, 00]

0x0013 - Set Run Hours

Payload:

Offset	Length	Data Type	Description
0	4	UINT32	The run hours value in seconds
